When I go by my aunt's house (which is a lot) sometimes she will hit me or shove me against a wall or something. I tried telling my mom but she did not believe me and told my aunt. My aunt then just gets mad and then hits me even more. She doesn't do it a lot......but im just wondering. I am beginning to become afraid of her and I have to go over there because my mom works for long hours and I can not stay home by myself for that long of time. I am 13 years old.

Well, to prove you aren't making it up, gather some sort of evidence like photographs of any bruising, turn the cell phone on and record the sound, ask her children if they experienced the same if she has any, and call the law when your other options as suggested by others are exhausted. Nobody has a right to harm you in that way not once, not twice. Proper disciplinary measures do not include this sort of thing. Just make sure you are not guilty of anything yourself except self-defense. Run to a neighbor's house to call authorities if it should happen again. Definitely refuse to go to her house again until the situation is changed. Do you have a friend you could stay with sometimes? If your mom loves you, she will put your safety first even though she may feel she needs your aunt for a sitter at this time as a better option. Come up with a better option to replace aunts' caretaking as mom already may feel guilty that she cannot be two places at once for you and it may well be a relief to her for there to be another solution offered. Best of luck. Pray lots. Jesus loves you.

First of all, she shouldn't be hitting you, even if you do something wrong. If there's a problem, she should let your mom know and let her deal with it. I'd say, if you can, try going by someone else's house instead. Continue to let your mom know what's going on. Sometimes parents won't believe something, especially if you only tell them a couple of times and especially if it has to do with another family member. But if you keep telling and telling her. Eventually, she'll get the point that there's something wrong.

well i would consider it abuse. even if you did something wrong it does sound like she would be takeing it too far so yea i would consider it abuse. try and get your mom to let you stay at a friends house sometimes or something. plus it also seems like there may be some emotional abuse since you are starting to become afraid of her. you should try and convince your mom again and if not i advise you to tell someone.

Yes, that is abuse.
Try one more time to talk to your Mom. Tell her that you really hate it that your aunt hits. And if she doesn't help you, then you will be telling your teacher, or a counselor at school.
And then, do exactly that. You deserve some help, so follow thru and demand some help from someone.

Yes, Rachel, you're being abused by your aunt.
If your mom won't believe you, tell your teacher, or a school psychologist, or a police officer or an ACS child welfare worker.
You're a nice young girl and you do NOT deserve to be abused like that!
Get help now!
Good luck!

Have you told your dad, or a school counselor? Write down every time she does it, this way you have a record of it and can say she has done this please help me. If you are afraid to go over there then there is a problem. It is abuse. My ex used to hold me to the ground or block me from leaving my house when I was upset he would make me sit there and endure his abuse and hateful words.

It is abuse, nobody has a right to hit you, keep telling your mom until she does listen and if not tell your mom your gonna talk to a counsellor at school, maybe that will make her believe.

Yes it is abuse..
Tell your mum again, and tell her the sitution as in not telling your aunt again..
ask her why she doesn't believe you... you are her daughter/son she should listen to you..
tell her it is upsetting you and scaring you.. maybe start to cry
could you not stay with a friend? or different friends-different days? Or join a club or something...

Your poor girl! She's abusing you. Talk to your teacher, a counselor at school, or another adult about the situation (your grandparents). xoxoxo

Please tell a councillor at school what is going on as this is abuse and should not be happening, I wish there was absolute proof to this as this is just wrong, but perhaps they can tell you what to do
